the 'Specify Item Values' to bind the consumables product code in
another field that populates depending on what's chosen.I want to have
another field populate with the quantity type (roll, box etc) of the
consumable chosen from the dropdown. Is there a way of having this
second field relate to the dropdown?Thanks.

of a dropdown list. I want the user to select a choice from a dropdown
which causes a subform containing just text to become visible. I have
used the code below successfully:var newValue =
this.boundItem(xfa.event.newText);switch (newValue){ case "1":

Hi - I am wanting to use a selection from a dropdown to hide/show 17
subforms that contain text only.I've tried if/else statements that I've
used in the same way before but I'm having problems making it work this

required to hide/show. Thanks.

I have two drop-down lists. One includes a list of particular locations
within an organisation, the other includes a list of other different
type of locations. What I want is if the user chooses from the first

able to delete their first choice if they change their mind and be able
to choose from the second list ... and vice-versa if you know what I
mean.Is this possible?Thanks for your help.

first page is portrait and the second page should be landscape.I want
the first page portrait master to repeat as many times as required based

that point on depending on how many subforms are added.Is there a way of
controlling which master pages occur in this way.Thanks for any help.
I have a table that has four columns for data to be input. This sounds a
bit convoluted but I would like to have the user to be able to save the
form and when reopened, they could press a button that would move the
data along to the left by one so they can enter new information into the
far right column. The user only wants the last four columns (the last
four times they have input data) on the form and the earliest column
data disappears.Would this be possible in any way?Thanks.

Hi Niall,Can I ask a question in relation to the script in the example
file: http://assure.ly/eTOXah - I have a form that has two options at
the beginning - click on one checkbox and it opens the 'original order'
subform and click on the other checkbox and it opens the 'change to
existing order' subform. The 'original order' subform has a dynamic

Registration or Renewal / Change of Existing Order. The user will choose
New Registration, complete all the fields, save a copy of the form and
send the order away. The user wants to be able to reopen that form at a
later date, be able to choose Renewal / Change of Existing Order which
will open a subform with a section to add new order information. I want

Hi Niall,I have a couple of questions related to this answer - I have a
form located on our intranet and need to collect data from multiple
users of the form every month into an Excel spreadsheet. What would be
the best way to do this - include a button that the user presses to
email me their responses as XML? If this is best, how would it be
done?And can you collect the data over a month and process it in Excel
in one go?Thanks for your help.

I have a subform that contains text fields plus a table with repeating
rows (added using a button). I want to also be able to repeat this
entire subform as many times as required by the user. I'm having trouble

scipt:_patient.addInstance(true);xfa.form.recalculate(true);Is their
something missing I should be including?Thanks.
Hi,I am wanting to have a subform that can be filled in on screen but

Is it possible to have a text field sit within other text and expand
horizontally to allow for entered data and the surrounding text also
moves depending on how much data is entered (like in a paragraph)?
Similar to entering text in to a Word form.
Thanks Scott - I'm using Livecycle Designer ES 8.2, Acrobat 9 Pro
(people completing the form will be using Adobe Reader X, and Excel
2003. I haven't done anything like this before so probably need
instructions from start to finish.Thanks for your help.
I have created a form that I want to host on an internal website. Now I
want to collect the data entered into that form and record that data on
an Excel spreadheet. Is there anywhere you can find instructions on how
to do this? Thanks.
I have a form that I have created in Livecycle that will sit on our
company's intranet. I want to be able to audit particular fields on the
form (at the end of each month) by collecting the user's responses and
presenting the responses in a spreadsheet. Is there a good example /
tutorial available that runs through the process of achieving
this?Thanks for any help.
Thanks - that is what I want the field to do, but if I want the cutoff
date to change according to the 'current date' (within 6 months from
when the form is opened), how does that work?
I have a drop-down list that I have populated. When an item is chosen
from the drop-down list it automatically shows the code for that item in
another field. I have put these codes in in the Binding section. The
problem I'm having is that if a person chooses an item from the
drop-down list and then change their mind, the code from the original
item stays in the field as well as the new item code.Is there any way
that the field can automatically change to the new item code?Thanks.
